mediBac clearing®

Clearer skin starts now: bring the four contributing factors of acne under control.

The MediBac Clearing® system works to treat, clear and prevent adult acne while addressing the needs of adult skin. Most products and treatments for acne are designed for teenage skin, making them too harsh and irritating for adult acne sufferers. MediBac Clearing® controls acne without compromising skin’s integrity, which means skin is clearer and healthier.

how it works

Dermalogica’s MediBac Clearing® system is formulated specifically to treat adult acne. Each product, with its unique acne-fighting and clearing ingredients, is designed to be layered upon the skin to provide around-the-clock, maximum control of the main factors that contribute to acne.

I just started using this product a few weeks ago, and I'm really pleased with it. It clears pimples so effectively and matches my skin perfectly. Can't believe the low ratings on such a great treatment.

This product works like magic.. Whenever I feel a pimple coming on I use this product and it works!!. Sometimes once gets the job done and at other times I use it for 2 or 3 days and I get great results.

This product has gotten several negative comments about the tint, but for me it is fine. My skin is light (German/British heritage), and the tint is such that it camouflages the redness of acne, yet allows me to still go without foundation makeup if I choose to do so. It also works well. So for me, it's a win-win.

This product is much too dark and too yellow for my skin. There is no way I can blend this in and still conceal blemishes.

Merchant response: Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. Concealing Spot Treatment is neutral toned and works for most skin tones. If you are unhappy with it, you might prefer Breakout Control as a day time treatment. It goes on clear. We will contact you directly to assist with any returns questions.

I read all the reviews before buying this product and read about its yellow colour as well but I still decided to buy it because 1)my skin colour is not very fair and I have got some tan now so I thought I would get away with the colour 2) I desperately wanted to have a concealer which is also a treatment for my acnes.

Unfortunately it is so yellow that I simply cannot use it. Disappointing.

I use Dermologica products all the time but i have suffered with an allergic reaction to a sample of this product resulting in my whole face to swell up, become inflamed, redness, itchy, it has even started to blister. It is like really bad sunburn with bunps underneath the skin. I would definitely not recommend this product.

Merchant response: Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. For your reference, Concealing Spot Treatment is meant to be applied to individual breakouts and not all over the face.

We advise you to have an allergy test done to see what specific ingredient may have caused the reaction. Additionally, you may exchange your Concealing Spot Treatment for Barrier Repair to help your skin calm down from the reaction.

This is my go-to tube whenever I have a pimple or impending acne breakout. In fact, this works better at clearing breakouts than the overnight clearing gel (for me at least). Give it enough time to work it magic (overnight for smaller pimples or 1-2 day without make up for larger ones) and it dries up the pimple well enough such that when the pimple falls off, all that is left underneath is a new layer of skin - no open wound akin to when a pimple bursts or pops.I wouldn't say it is a good concealer though, as the colour of it is too dark/orange for my skin (i have a pretty fair skin tone). The patch on which it is used also remains obvious as the texture of the dried "concealing spot treatment" is quite spotty. I typically have to dab a spot on the pimple before going over with my liquid foundation again to blend it when I am heading out. The old formula (which used to come in the glass bottle) works better as a concealor as it blended with my skin colour better and dried without looking spotty.Despite this, I still purchase this as I have not found another product that clears pimple better!

Are there plans for a lighter shade?: Will this ever be available for light skin tones? I find that as I'm very, very light skinned/pale as a ghost, any breakouts and associated redness stand out more. I find this product is great at covering and treating them, but I just can't get away with it during the day as it's way too dark, probably only suitable for medium skin with yellow undertones.
